ICONICS WebHMI ActiveX Stack Overflow

Vendor Link: http://www.iconics.com/
PDF: http://www.security-assessment.com/files/documents/advisory/ICONICS_WebHMI.pdf


+-----------+
|Description|
+-----------+

ICONICS Genesis32 is a suite of OPC, SNMP, BACnet and Web-enabled HMI and SCADA applications. A stack overflow was found in an ActiveX control required by the WebHMI interface. This condition can be used to gain command execution. The affected control is 'GenVersion.dll' and has the ClassID of {CEFF5F48-BD2E-4D10-BAE5-AF729975E223}. This control is marked safe for scripting.


+------------+
|Exploitation|
+------------+

Exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user with the ActiveX control installed to visit a page containing specially crafted JavaScript. Users can generally be lured to visit web pages via email, instant message or links on the internet.

By passing a specially crafted string to the "SetActiveXGUID" method, it is possible to overflow a static buffer and execute arbitrary code on the user's machine with the privileges of the logged on user. Security-Assessment.com constructed a JavaScript ROP exploit as proof of concept.
